CCNE vs ACEN. Comparing accelerated programs and can’t get a straight answer on whether this matters?

Been looking into ABSN programs and almost every school lists one or the other. On Reddit I saw someone say CCNE is better and employers prefer it. Another said it doesn’t matter and ACEN is just for ADN programs. Someone else brought up institutional accreditation being a separate thing from program accreditation which wasn’t even on the radar this week. Is there a clear answer here or does if genuinly vary?
